I use the word Junction loosely to try and describe this location on Old Creek Road with my questions.
I know this place is referenced on a few other threads dating back to 2015 - 2019 and but never had a chance to visit except by the sites previous pictures and Sat views.
As you had noted - those previous pictures were posted when the full foliage obscured the area.
Had chance a few weeks ago to finally visit the area when no leaves were out and was amazed the size of the ROW abutments and numerous drainage structures that were clearly visible. As it was raining I didn't stop to take pictures - my loss as when I again plan to go that way in two weeks I think my window of opportunity for good shots may be passed when leaves out.
What I noted was how close the ROW of the Erie and NYC were to each other along Old Creek Road as they passed beneath the DL&W. Looked like no more than 30'.
In regards to abandonment in this area , if my memory is even close.
NYC - 1930's ?
DL&W - 1980ish ? but which leg -- East or West?
Erie - ???
Many thanks for correcting me .
Ill try and grab what pictures I can get in 2 weeks.
